Nah dude its clean cant find anything with norton.AVG told me so...no, it's not a keygen. Maybe it's a false positive, but I won't risk it.

so Im recroding some demo guitars and using pod for tones and external IR's
I cant figure out how to mute the dry signal from the pod when using it as a soundcard to monitor wet only from the DAW ? can it be done
Control Panel>Line 6 Audio-Midi devices>hardware montitor level all the way down.
A few questions:
Backstory (if you're interested):
I'm thinking about getting one of these units but I'm not fully sure of which one I should get.
Currently I have a Boss GT8, which does everything but metal very well. Metal metal models tend to sound thin or way to woofy and have "cocked wah" issues. You basically can't dial the crap out of the metal tones (what do you expect from the people who brought us the metal zone?). It also doesn't have USB capabilities of a thriving user community with any level of compatibility.
Amp-wise, I have a Mesa lonestar special, which, for my uses, can not be surpassed for low and mid gain tones in a live setting, though it can be matched.
What I'm looking for in a unit is a good progressive metal/djent sound in a box that I can record via USB (I want to be able to edit tones/signal chains after I record). I'd like to have 4cm functionality if playing live as well, which I don't do anymore as of late, but would like to in the future. I use a pretty simple signal chain so its not inconceivable for me to put an all analog pedal board together when that time comes again.
Actual question:
Obviously the HD500 covers all those bases and then some. I however curious about the 400 and the bean, as well as the X3 live. The X3 live was the unit (foolishly) didnt choose in favor of my gt8. If my gt8 did an adequate job with modern metal, I wouldn't even be looking for a new unit. Admittedly, I made my previous decision based on Internet research, reviews, and clips rather than from actually playing the units first (I was away in college and didn't have access to any stores that actually carries the units). Boss put out a clip called "gut punch" that was especially misleading.
I say all that because I'm not fully sold on whether I need to step up to the HD level if the X3 would be adequate. I would have to sell my gt8 to afford any new unit, so I'm not sure if its worth putting an extra $200-250 with that to get an HD when a new unit might be around the corner (?). How far into the development cycle are we with the hd500/bean. They just came out with the hd500x, would that imply that other upgraded hardware is on the horizon?
Tbh, I wish they had a super stripped down floor board with 3-4 models that you can choose to load onto it, a delay, reverb, compressor, and eq with an fx loop. Basically an m5 with amp modeling.

They have stripped down units. They're called the hd300 and hd400. If your planning on playing live, just go with the hd500. If you only ever use one tone in a live situation, you could get away with the bean. The hd500x compared to the hd500 is like a special edition car. They slap on some badges, add 5hp and charge way more.
^Truth. You might as well just save $100 and go with the HD500 over the HD500x.
That's what I was thinking. How frequently do they roll out with a new generation of gear? Is there any actual improvement in functionality?
I'm excited. In my 15 years of playing, I've never had a modern metal tone to work with. This could be fun.

The HD series has been out for at least two years now and the hd500x just came out.
By Generation do you mean like what they did with the HD500 to 500X or by going from X3 to Pro?
In either case, it didn't take long to go from the HD500 to 500X obv. And the HD Pro X is going to come eventually, my guess within the next year. As far as jumping from the X3 to HD generations... I believe the X3s were released sometime in 2007 and we're in 2013 now...
Functionality in the HD500 to 500X isn't different in any way. The only difference is the number of effects you can put in the chain before the units go to lunch.
Speaking about functionality in the X3 to HD models, I find the user interface in the X3 to be clunky whereas the HD Pro is clean and easy to read.
Are there any credible rumors about what might come next?
I just did a tone match for Soilwork's The Living Infinite. Feel free to check it out and comment! \m/
